While the announcement doesn’t provide much in the way of details, Deadline reports that the film’s tagline reads “ever wonder where your passion, your dreams and your interests come from? What is it that makes you… YOU,” which is somewhat interesting given the wordplay baked into the movie’s title and the imagery of the production title card released today. There’s a very good chance that Soul will in some way feature the sun (“sol” being Latin for “sun”), and because the film will take its characters from New York City into the “cosmic realms,” it’s likely that the story’ll focus on humans rather than just anthropomorphized celestial bodies.

Of course, none of this may be the case, and Soul could end up being something entirely different, but the fact that half of the atoms in our bodies were once parts of long-dead stars from other distant galaxies seems like the kind of thing Pixar would love to turn into a big film.
